A method of generating a code sequence and method of adding additional information using the same are disclosed, by which a code sequence usable for a channel for synchronization is generated and by which a synchronization channel is established using the generated sequence. The present invention, in which the additional information is added to a cell common sequence for time synchronization and frequency synchronization, includes the steps of generating the sequence repeated in time domain as many as a specific count, masking the sequence using a code corresponding to the additional information to be added, and transmitting a signal including the masked sequence to a receiving end.

1. A method for transmitting a signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting a reference signal sequence to a receiving end, wherein: the reference signal sequence is given by repeating a base sequence at least twice and masking the repeated base sequence with an orthogonal code, the base sequence is CAZAC (constant amplitude zero auto-correlation) code, and the masking the repeated base sequence with the orthogonal code comprises multiplying each base sequence of the repeated base sequence with a corresponding value of the orthogonal code.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal code is Hadamard code.
3.
